Shinhan Bank and KBO Host Contactless Pro Baseball All-Star Event

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] Shinhan Bank announced on the 28th that it will hold an 'Untact All-Star Event' together with the KBO to repay baseball fans' support and offer greater fun and excitement.

The KBO League All-Star Game, the league's biggest festival where the best players gather in one place, has been held every year without fail since its inaugural year in 1982 until last year. However, this year it will not be held due to the delay of the league opening by more than a month caused by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Accordingly, Shinhan Bank and the KBO will ease the disappointment over the All-Star Game and, despite the difficult conditions of no-audience games and limited spectator attendance, select the 'All-Star Best 12' through voting and conduct various events for fans who continue to support the KBO League.

The 'All-Star Best 12' voting will be held from August 10 to September 4 on Shinhan SOL, the KBO website, and the KBO app. Fans who participate in the voting via Shinhan SOL will be entered into a draw to win various prizes such as All-Star signed balls, luxury hotel family accommodation vouchers, and My Shinhan Points. Shinhan Bank plans to donate an amount corresponding to the final tally of votes to the Baseball Development Fund.

The final selected Dream All-Stars (Doosan, SK, KT, Samsung, Lotte) 12 players and Nanum All-Stars (Kiwoom, LG, NC, KIA, Hanwha) 12 players will receive separate awards along with specially made 'All-Star patches.' The 24 players will attach the 'All-Star patch' to their uniforms and participate in the second half of the season games.

Additionally, the KBO, together with Shinhan Bank, plans to hold various events that fans can participate in, such as the 'Untact All-Star Race,' where Dream All-Stars and Nanum All-Stars compete using the records of the selected All-Star players.
